Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Recently, the trailer for the upcoming Superman movie dropped and it got me thinking about how James Gunn has a great opportunity to appeal to us, the martial arts movie goer, in this new relaunch. In this episode, I appeal to James Gunn with his love for B superheroes and lay out a whole pile of DC martial art superheroes that he could use. From fan favorites, to returning characters from other DC projects, to even one that he has already used, DC has a great opporunity to appeal to the martial artist in the new DCU.

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. In today's episode we are wrapping up Hymns of Christmas as we complete our journey through the birth of Jesus guided by our favorite Christmas hymns. Today's guides are Silent Night & Oh Holy Night. After recapping and taking a brief look at Isaiah 9:6, I talk about this important aspect to the good news of Christmas that Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the peace to whom God has given to those He has given His grace, the peace that Micah prophesized about. What does it look like to live at peace because Jesus is peace? How does the imagry of Silent Night and the social justice message of Oh Holy Night play a part in us understanding what it means to be at peace? Also, I look at the war and poverty surrounding one of these hymns, and the Unitarians are at it again with our second Christmas hymn today. Bonus, I wrap this whole series up in a nice little bow by quoting part of Dr. Maya Angelou's poem Amazing Peace.

Welcome to my dojo, mthis is Kung Fu Pizza Party. This is the 2025 Coming Soon edition of the show where I talk about three of the most anticipated films of 2025, Karate Kid Legends, Mortal Kombat 2, and Love Hurts. I walk through what we do and do not know about these movies, how simply the two Karate Kid universes are coming together, how I'm not thrilled about Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, and why I think all movies need Marshawn Lynch. Then I run down four rumored films that may be coming out in 2025 that all have Donnie Yen reportedly in them. Lastly, I tease what's coming soon here on Kung Fu Pizza Party in 2025 as I continue to expand the show to be the ultimate martial art pop culture show.
